“Those goddamn HIPPIES! Where’s my shotgun? I’ll KILL the sons of bitches!”
I spent a fair part of my Sunday evening laboring over the following: Help me, my hands no longer work… Yeah, I know there’s a modern Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers cartoon and I suppose it’s worked on by people that love the Bros. but nnnnnyeah. I only care about the comic, ably created by Gilbert…

Dynamite explosion once again
When I previewed / recapped Wrestling Observer Live, I would typically write a review of Dynamite every week as it would generally be the main topic discussed on Thursdays. Dunno if I’ll do that every week here (god knows I would have driven the handful of people that have discovered this place so far away…

Reasons to be cheerful (part 3)
Some weeks, the words flow off of my keyboard and the drawings flow outta my pen… but this is not one of those weeks. I’ve taken a couple of stabs at drawing and talking a little about Kamen Rider Decade (for no real reason I can easily articulate, my favorite Rider), and man, he’s tough…

“Why don’t you get a key, then?”
It has come to my attention that today marks the 30th anniversary (!! Good LORD, but I’m old) of the premiere of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, obviously the best space themed talk show there ever was. “I’m gonna follow it home.” Mmmmhmmm hmmm ummm hmmm hmmm hmmmmmmm Here’s a story about one day when…

Be an original; take a stand (you’re free to say no)
Strap in; this is gonna be a long one. So, I’m a big comic book dork. Over the months and years before I get too bored to update this blog, that will become apparent, believe me. One of my latest comic book obsessions is original art. What does that mean in the context of comics?…

Ten Storey Love Song
I was asked to participate in the Voices of Wrestling Top Ten polling (I guess whatever nebulous position I hold in wrestling media counted) last year, and while one of my comments actually showed up in the final thing, only a couple of people saw my actual list until now, so… A word of caution;…

Sha sha sha!
We don’t talk enough about Shingo Takagi, or in this case, about how much friggin’ whisky he spat at EVIL last weekend.

Worked shoots and the distant sound of thunder
Here’s another WOL rant from 2022 about famous worked shoots that people told me they liked. Note this is when I first started to worry about one MJF: Ah, the “worked shoot” promo. A way to say that you want something real in your fake wrestling. A way to make you feel like you saw…

Pasta salad, face paint and sadness
Here’s the sort of thing I would write from time to time over at The BOARD~! by way of you knowing what the heck you’re getting into. This is from 2022, when Danhausen was first hired (and Gotch willing, he’ll gone by the beginning of 2025): “Why don’t you eat the pasta salad?” my mother…

So, uh, what is this again?
Good question. You might know me as the guy who writes a couple hundred words for or about Wrestling Observer Live everyday (depending on topic, mood and desire, that is). You might also know me from modding the chat from same or modding the Observer BOARD~! or a number of other things. I’m sort of…
